I thought this was quite a touching image of the local bull and his harem. He is very gentle and will let you walk right past you without any reaction. I sometimes feel a bit sorry for the Highland Cows being out in all weathers. They are obviously well designed for the conditions however – […]
This is a shameful rip off of “Sad Cat Diary’ – my all time favourite on Youtube.
It has been snowing off and on all day today. The hills look quite spectacular but it has been exceedingly cold. This afternoon I walked over to the shop at the holiday camp and got some good photos, including one of a species of duck I haven’t seen before. We also saw a sheep in […]
To illustrate my point of the other day – the video is of the birds emptying the large feeder in just over an hour…. As you can see it is large down to the four large (well fat actually) jays. The little birds are also polishing over their seed at the same time…
After the foul weather yesterday it was beautiful again today and we walked out to the end of the Loch. Before we went out I filled the large bird feeder with nuts and also put out about 500g on the ground. By the time we came back (about an hour and a half later), the […]
I bought a time lapse video camera for R for his birthday. We tried this out for the first time yesterday and even if I say so myself it is super cool. I can’t wait to see the output from a really wild and windy day – but even this somewhat cloudy one is really […]
Yesterday the weather was fabulous, today it is very cold (probably about -2) and freezing fog such that I can’t even see the bottom of the garden, much less the Weather Benn. This would of course also be the day I bought a cool time lapse camera for R’s birthday. We’ve set it up at […]
It is R’s birthday today. I won’t say which one – but as we have been together for twenty years come 2015 it would be fair to say that he may now be considered middle aged. There also may be a clue in the picture of the bottle of wine which I bought for him […]
Well we had a lovely Christmas and my guests all went home today. Donich Cottage proved a real hit with them and it was quite fun playing the lady of the manor with the cottage and the ‘big house’. After people had gone, R and I walked right down to the end of the Inverlounin […]
The title says it all. A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to everyone. The weather in Lochgoilhead today is fantastic (unlike last year when it poured with rain). We had a great walk by the Loch this morning, followed by presents (some lovely ones for me) and I am now cooking the […]
